Found an Old Bag of Ennerdale Flake

[newportpipe]

Today, I found a bag containing 8oz. of Ennerdale Flake over a year old from Mars Cigars in a cupboard.

The good news is the flakes are pliable and not crunchy. They easily bend and do not snap in half.

The bad news is the “sauce” scent is very faint.

Think it’ll still be a good smoke after jarring it up down the road?

Thanks.

Nothing to lose by trying. Won't get any drier, at least there's that. Newport's got decent humidity--if I found the same bag up in my neck of the woods, it'd be nothing but mummy dust by now.

Ennerdale smokes best when somewhat dry,the sauce will still be there.
Smoke on

Yes. You've probably got some perfectly smokable Ennerdale, no drying time needed, and Ennerdale is so heavily sauced that you'll still have plenty of sweet lakeland presence.

Bulk Ennerdale is much less potent than stuff fresh from the tin.
Yes it will be different, but it was always going to be different.

That might just be the "new" standard for Gawith lakelands now. I'm noticed that my recent pick ups have been less "saucy".

Excuse me while I go check my cupboards…

Great to hear.

We moved to a new house a year ago and things were hastily put away. I found stuff I forgot I had yesterday. Go check those cupboards!

Perhaps my better half did me a favor by putting this somewhere I wouldn’t normally look!

Here is the mystery cupboard. My better half threw this stuff in there and never bothered to tell me. Yesterday was like Christmas in June. (Forgive my feet I had to sit on the floor)

Believe me, I’ve opened every drawer and looked in every cupboard throughout the house and the garage! I did find a meer still in the box.
